[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Lord Meshadieme:
Ok, sorry for the delay its hard for me during the weekdays to do anything because of university and job. So below is the format and guidelines for posting your benchmarks.

Benchmark 1:

Device: HTC Polaris (Touch Cruise)

CPU: Qualcomm MSM7200 @ 400Mhz

Memory: 256MB ROM, 128MB RAM, 4GB Sanyo MSD

ROM:RUU_Polaris_HTC_Asia_WWE_3.18.457.0_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15

Notes:So i decided to post the first benchmark using the default HTC ROM without any tweaks to compare the actual improvements from it.

Tweaks:None

Benchmarks:

1)

D3D Demo:

Average FPS: 3.0 FPS @ 5 Mins

This tools displays the FPS on the top left part of the screen so to to benchmark just run the tools for a period of time i used 5 minutes, and note down as many speeds as you can and try to average it out. I did this mostly in my head since the value didn't fluctuate to high or low.

2)

Lights 3D:

FPS Smoothness Rating: 1/10

Unfortunately this tool doesn't display the FPS, so we rate the smoothness of the FPS from a scale of 1 to 10. It gave alot of errors due to the missing driver but it did work but barely got even 1 FPS if i am assuming correctly.

3)

Text 3D:

Clearness Rating: 0/10 (N/A)

Same as above but this time without drivers it doesn't display 3D at all so i can't rate it all though my second bench will include the drivers we can compare from there.

4)

Triangle GL:

FPS: (N/A)

Same as above but this time without drivers it doesn't play at all so i can't rate it all though my second bench will include the drivers we can compare from there.

5)

Video Decompression Benchmarking:

Video 1 Average Speed: 222.09%

Video 2 Average Speed: 114.72%

Video 3 Average Speed: 166.7%

Video 4 Average Speed: 60.54%

So basically just run the four video's in CorePlayer 1.23 one by one and goto Menu > Tools > Benchmarking.. and Note down the 'Average Speed:' from each video's results.

6)

SPB Benchmark v1.6:

SPB Benchmark Index: 551.77

CPU Index: 1231.79

File System Index: 258.38

Graphic Index: 4918.45

Active Sync Index: 6410.58

We start by testing the 'Main', 'Storage Card', 'Active Sync' Benchmark modes You may compare battery if you like but the test requires you to complete a battery cycle and has minimum affect from tweaks and optimizations to my knowledge. Pocket Word is not compatible with this version or something so its better to not test for it. This test uses Pocket Internet Explorer so we have to disable Opera as the default browser, to do that just open Opera and deselect it as the default browser in settings. The test results can viewed on your computer so you can open it on your PC and use the SPB Benchmark Manager tool, goto Visualize results, copy paste the details from the first table showing the index scores like displayed above.

7)

Pocket PCMark v1.03:

CPU Dhrystone: 1.20.94 MIPS

CPU Whetstone: 5.34 MWIPS

Memory: 374.76 Points

Memory Latency: 86.03 Points

File System: 492.95 Points

Storage Cards: 135.08 Points

Graphics: 87.19 Points

So for PCmarks select each test one by one and note down the results of 'Current Device:' as above. There is a problem with clicking the icons for the test it doesn't work normally but on some clicks it works, i can't seem to point out why if you do let me know but it takes awhile to get all of them clicked. When they are click the screen hangs without any notification that the test is running sometimes, so just wait until its done (Pressing Next in the result screen helps you start the next test easier). The Graphic Test gave some kind of crash is any ppc guru aware of the application gwes.exe? it crashed twice.

8)

GLBenchmark v1.0:

We'll this test cannot be run under this case because of the 3D Driver problem. So wait for the Second Benchmark for the rest. Basically what you do is test the benchmark upload to a username, and check the website for the results.

Updated 19/5

Benchmark 2:

Device: HTC Polaris (Touch Cruise)

CPU: Qualcomm MSM7200 @ 400Mhz

Memory: 256MB ROM, 128MB RAM, 4GB Sanyo MSD

ROM:RUU_Polaris_HTC_Asia_WWE_3.18.457.0_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15

Notes:So now the second benchmark will be with the 3D Drivers installed thanks to our developers. Please Note some of the benchmark tools from the 3D Driver don't exit properly so make sure close them before trying another benchmark. I actually suggest soft resetting after using them they seem to slow down my Device.

Tweaks:3D Driver Added.

Benchmarks:

1)

D3D Demo:

Average FPS: ?? FPS

FPS Smoothness Rating: 7/10 (Somewhat slower when touch screen is pressed)

The FPS didn't display on the top left part of the screen anymore so i rated it on a scale of 1 to 10, i suspect one of the developers can help fix this eventually same for the other tools.

2)

Lights 3D:

FPS Smoothness Rating: 5/10

3)

Text 3D:

Clearness Rating: 1/10

Although it works but the 3D text is not at all clear.

4)

Triangle GL:

FPS: 311 FPS @ 2 mins (N/A)

The Second Screen (tap the triangle after a some minutes to get to the next screen) it will tell you the FPS to note down for this.

5)

Video Decompression Benchmarking:

Video 1 Average Speed: 221.35%

Video 2 Average Speed: 117.86%

Video 3 Average Speed: 167.3%

Video 4 Average Speed: 60.04%

Whats interesting here, the 3D drivers seem to have little to no effect on the frame rate but did seem to have visual effect on the decoding progress, i noticed a lot of lag in the videos although the frame rate was okay it seemed to be skipping frames (mainly in the 2nd, and audio is out of sync in the 1st, 4th and 3rd). Maybe some the of developers can look into this and improve upon the drivers. This is exactly why i made this topic to help find ways to test the device and tweaks to find out what causes it to tick.

6)

SPB Benchmark v1.6:

SPB Benchmark Index: 553.42

CPU Index: 1249.32

File System Index: 258.38

Graphic Index: 4796.72

Active Sync Index: 6410.58

Somewhat also awkward the Graphic index dropped, and the CPU index rose, could help if the developers research the Graphic tests performed in this software and use it. Note that i only tested the Graphics and Image related tests.

7)

Pocket PCMark v1.03:

CPU Dhrystone: 1.20.94 MIPS

CPU Whetstone: 5.34 MWIPS

Memory: 374.76 Points

Memory Latency: 86.03 Points

File System: 492.95 Points

Storage Cards: 135.08 Points

Graphics: 87.34 Points

Not much of a Significant difference which would probably fluctuate anyway. Note that i only tested the Graphics Test.

So just goto 'Your Results' after logging in and copy paste the main results. I feel their can be alot more improvements in the drivers, lets hope our developers can do it for us.

Thats it for now.
